Fiat Uno VivaceBefore the Fiat Punto took the European market by storm, Fiat's main rival to the VW Golf was the Uno. It was a boxy hatchback that was pretty simple, although there was a cool Turbo model on offer as well. Long after the Uno was discontinued in Europe, the nameplate lived on in some of Fiat's most lucrative markets, namely Brazil and Latin America.In 2010, Fiat Brazil revived the Uno as an entry-level hatchback model to compete with Latin America's other favorite small car, the VW Gol — yes, without the F. Like the Gol, the Uno was designed from the get-go to be a very basic car, and that's immediately obvious when you look at the interior.The basic Fiat Uno Vivace was properly depressing on the inside. The entire dashboard was black hard plastic, there was a blank plate on the radio panel, and you had all of two dials and one lever for the climate controls. I genuinely feel sorry for any person from Latin America who had to put up with this interior. The more upscale trim levels did improve things a little bit, but you have to wonder, how far can the cost-cutting be taken before it's significantly detrimental to the experience behind the wheel?
